Great place to stay! Cosy and well equiped. Communication with Ronald is fast and friendly. The dog sledding is right next door and as a neighbour you can negiote for a special price...

Leonie February 2016

We had a fantastic time in Svensby. The cabin is clean and comfortable and Ronald was a very helpful host. The cabin has fantastic views over the fjord and is located right next to a company that arranges all sorts of activities such as dog sledding, ski trips, ice fishing etc. And yes, we also saw northern lights from the cabin. Brilliant place, highly recommended.

LydieFebruary 2016

We had such a lovely stay at Ronald's cabin. It was absolutely perfect for our stay, we were there to relax and switch off from busy London life and it certainly allowed that! The photos are spot on, but the views from the house can't be described - it's truly stunning all around and we had some great walks and holed up in the evenings. Would recommend picking up some food in Tromso before you arrive, or there's a supermarket about half an hour drive. Ronald is extremely efficient with his messaging, and so helpful - he even contacted the driver of the ferry to check it was running when we arrived which was really kind. Can't recommend this place enough, especially if you like a sauna!

LeoNovember 2015

I booked this cabin for me and a few friends to have a long weekend in. Even before I actually booked Ronald was very helpful in regard to the ferry, alternative routes and shopping. The actual cabin is very nice, it's about 500m away from the ferry on the hillside. On one side the cabin has a pile of sled dogs used for tourists who periodically howl to let you know they're still there. On the other sides there are a very small number of cabins which were mostly empty for the time I was there. This meant that other than the dogs it was exceptionally quiet and tranquil. Despite -15 while I was there felt nice and cosy and has a lovely view over the nearby fjord. The sauna, grillhut and cabin were all very clean and tidy. There was a book on the table that explained all of the questions we might have and useful things like where the nearest supermarket was. Between the sauna, the grillhut and the lovely view, this was a great place to stay, rounded off with a nice comfy bed and a good nights' sleep.

StefanJanuary 2016

Ronald's cabin was one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable places my wife and I have stayed. The view from the deck is stunning and the interior of the cabin is bright and clean. We really enjoyed relaxing in the grill hut and sauna as well. The cabin is in a perfect location to use as a base to explore Lyngen - the ferry is very close, it's only 20 minutes to town, and the mountains are right out the back door. The folder of local information on the table was a great touch and we ended up doing a few walks that were included. Ronald was quick and helpful with responses during the whole process. We loved this place and hope we can return here one day!

NathanMay 2016

Everything was just perfect. The house was just as described, situated on a slope facing the fjord, with a lovely view, everything perfectly clean, good instructions beforehand on how to get there, get the key, shopping etc...the house has all you need for a comfortable stay, so we felt very welcomed, like staying at a friends house. It has a wraparound veranda overlooking the fjord, sunny during the whole day, and the grill hut is also very cozy (and only for this house, from the description I had thought it was for sharing with the other six houses in the area), nice sauna, the bathroom has floor heating, the whole house is warm, and the sun comes thru the windows in the living and dining room almost all day round. What else can I say: we loved it! Thanks, Ronald :)

It was a great stay in a nice cabin, where we found all we needed: good equiped kitchen, cosy living-room, two bedrooms, floorheated bathroom (what a luxory!) and a wonderful view over the fjord. We even saw the northern lights in the new-years-eve, it was a fantastic experience. The grocery-store was just fine to find bred and milk and all necessary to cook. Unfortunately there is no restaurant in the village, nor in the whole area. We would have liked to eat reindeer-meet or some local fish-dishes or traditional food. But we liked very much this hollydays and will surely return once again. Elisabeth from Switzerland

Upon arrival at the cabin (1 hour drive from Tromso), we navigated the icy driveway with our host and were shown the necessary functions of the cabin. The cabin was exactly as described: * 2 rooms (one with a queen bed and the other a bunk bed) * Main room with lounge, chairs, Sat TV, and WiFi * Kitchen with all the cooking utensils you will need * Heated bathroom with shower * Sauna out the back * Clean and comfy - 2 panel heaters keep it cosy * A couple of thermal suits, some boots and snow gear are also hanging by the door for use. The cabin is located 40m above the road and hence offers an amazing view from its wrap-around balcony of the lake and mountains. We were lucky enough to experience an amazing Aurora show directly above the cabin and out over the lake on our first night. There is a grocery store just minutes down the road with everything you will need but don't forget all shops are shut on Sundays! My brother and I had a brilliant 4 night stay at the cabin and can only sing its praises. The host Oystein and owner Roy are very friendly and most helpful. We really recommend you stay here!!

MartinFebruary 2015

This cabin is best accessible with a car. We took a bus and because it was a weekend, buses don't run so regularly. We had to take a taxi in which cost quite a bit. However, the cabin was super lovely! It was nicely heated when we arrived. We had 4 awesome nights seeing the northern lights just outside the cabin and by the fjord. We even got to bake some brownies and bbq some marshmallows. We took the bus to Narvik from the cabin to catch the train to Abisko so that was easy. Thank you so much and we'll definitely come back someday!

Our time in the cabin was one of the best weeks in my life and I can only recommend the journey. HOST: Oystein does a great job. His answers are fast, accurate and he can help you with every question you have. Great! The local host Janette is also very nice and helped us to rent a fishing boat! LOCATION: The cabin is cozy and very comfortable. The location, between mountain & fjord is perfect to go backcountry skiing and fishing. The house is big enough for 4 people (we were just 2) and you can find everything inside. I'd never use a hotel again :-) We especially loved the heated floor in the bath even as the great sauna in the garden. Nothing else to say.

NiklasApril 2014

We had an excellent week in this cosy cabin. It was perfectly situated for seeing the Northern Lights. (We saw them almost every night!) Lakselvbukt, the area in which the cabin is located, is a quaint, idyllic place; everywhere you look are the majestic Lyngen Alps that make for postcard-perfect views, right on our doorstep. WiFi has just been installed, and runs perfectly, as does everything else in the house. There's plenty of gear for keeping warm when you're out on the patio waiting for the lights too. Do note that the cabin is atop a steep hill; it's about 30 metres up from the main driveway and parking spot. The sightseeing and driving opportunities in the area are endless. The journey out to Tromso or to the closest town of Nordkjosbotn (with a couple of large supermarkets) make beautiful drives. There are two small grocery shops closer to the cabin too. It was also great to be so close to Thomas the musher, with whom we had a most fantastic morning of dogsledding. We hardly wanted to leave!

JaniceFebruary 2014

Nice cabin, very modern in a great place to enjoy nature. Sauna was a great experience and the view to the fjord and to the mountains is amazing. It is a magic place and I highly recommend it. Oystein was a good host and Thomas (dog sledding tour) a great person.

The location is beatiful. 10 meters from the fjord/sea and a perfect place to explore the Lyngen alps.
Great location to explore the northern light - and take pictures of it.

It was the first cabin we booked via Airbnb and we were fully satisfied - the spacious cabin is very well equipped, has a fantastic view to the fjord and the mountains behind, and we easily felt at home! Jarle met us at the airport, led us to a store and gave us some useful hints. We liked most the wood stove which makes it a cosy and warm place, the fast internet connection, the modern kitchen, the terrace around the cabin and the nearby fjord with the sound of the waves. Our children had much fun on the second floor with the toys and the TV/DVD equipment. The Lyngen Alps are a fantastic place to be! We made a husky sledding tour which was fun, gave Tromsø a visit and went hiking on the Lyngen peninsula. The shops nearby had everything we needed. We saw the northern lights twice and were really impressed. We strongly recommend Jarles cabin and plan to come back again!

DirkApril 2016

We had an amazing stay at the cabin, the location was secluded and peaceful with a beautiful view over the mountains. The cabin itself has everything you need and is very cosy inside. Jarle was a very helpful host and provided lots of useful information and tips for places to visit and see. I would definitely recommend this place!

KajalDecember 2015

The listing was very accurate, the cabin was lovely. Directions were easy to follow and Jarle was in regularly touch checking we were okay and had found it. The cabin has fantastic views and is close to the water. We saw the northern lights each night and plenty of snow. The cabin is very comfortable, warm and relaxing with everything you need. We had a really lovely few days and would love to go back one day.

My husband and I visited Bali and Tromso as part of our Honeymoon and this was by far our best part of the trip. I couldn't stop staring at the mountains out of the window! The cabin is extremely well equipped and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful spot. Jarle was great at making sure we were looked after and her instructions to get to the cabin were spot on! We were in Tromso in the hope that we would get to see the Northern lights and we weren't let down - we saw them both on an excursion and then again on our last night - right infront of the cabin! There was a perfect clearing in the clouds around the cabin and it was just like the Northern lights were there for us! Jarle left plenty of information for us, from where to walk and shop through to distances to different places, which made it easy to work out where to go. I would definitely recommend the cabin for anyone looking for walks and relaxation!

AnniNovember 2015

What a fantastic holiday, our third trip to the Arctic but our best experience yet! Before we left, Jarle kept in contact answering questions, sending us ferry times, weather updates etc. He met us at the airport and showed us to the supermarket to stock up on supplies and made sure we knew exactly how to find the cabin before he left. A very straightforward trip and short ferry crossing and we arrived at the cabin. Although it was dark we can't describe the pure joy at opening the sitting room door and seeing the panoramic view across the fjord over to the mountains on the other side…simply stunning! The cabin was cozy and warm on our arrival and we felt at home in minutes. The following day there was a blizzard, which for us snow lovers was an extra bonus, the snow ploughs were out clearing the road numerous times though so never felt trapped or isolated. We drove to the North of the Lyngen Peninsula and also to the main village of Lyngseidet in the South, the whole area is breathtaking, a photo opportunity round every corner! As with most of Northern Scandinavia the roads are blissfully quiet, a more than welcome change to the UK! We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights from the cabin on two evenings out of our four, and the luxury of lying on the sofa, cup of tea in hand whilst we did was (URL HIDDEN) freezing nighttime snowmobile tours for us! ;) The tidal pebble shoreline directly below the cabin was one of the most peaceful places I have ever spent time in…if there's a heaven, this place would be mine! What a simply stunning location, fantastic cabin and wonderful hosts, we hope to go back again, maybe even in summer as can imagine it would be equally if not more stunning then!

LucyJanuary 2016

We loved loved loved staying at this beautiful cabin. Jarle was an amazing host - lots of contact before our stay and met is at the airport and guided us to the cabin. Really went over and above and we really appreciated it. The cabin itself is beautiful modern and the view is spectacular - we will definitely be back

We had a wonderful night there. The house is quite big and has various rooms each of which has its own attractiveness. It was very nice opportunity for us to experience a part of norwegian style housings. It is quite far from Tromsø on bus, but the way to get inside Lyngen was quite great. :)

Everything as expected. Perfect communication with Ida. Hope we can return next year for some great skiing days

OskarMarch 2016

We had a great time in Svensby, and were able to see the northern lights from the apt, various times. In fact, the best "shows" were from there! The apt was cozy and had everything we needed. Ida was very helpful throughout our planning of our vacations, for which I'm very grateful. Wish I had more time in Lyngen!

This apartment was amazing. It was really spacious and very cosy with a fireplace. We really enjoyed the fireplace, because it was snowing and cold. It was also very comfortable. Everything you could wish for was present. The kitchen was well equiped and the shower was very good. The beds were really comfortable. I have never slept better. The sauna was also very spacious and nice.

LidewijDecember 2015

Ida was very kind to wait for us until late, given our luggage had been diverted to another flight. We found the appartment in the basement of Ida's house perfectly located at the very heart of the Lyngen Alps and we enjoyed going snowshoeing from the threshold of the house into fascinating mountainous landscapes and watching Elks in the forest nearby.

SarahMarch 2015

Ida's house was great, everything was very cosy and clean. We were 9 people and there was plenty of space for us all. The surroundings are insanely beautiful and the view from the house is great! We had the chance to see the Northern Lights almost every night, it was an incredible experience! It is a bit long to get to the house from Tromso (50 minutes drive + 20 minutes ferry (which starts late and closes early / about 1 ferry/hour) + 5 minutes drive) so you should definitely have a car to get there but the landscape is completely worth spending some time on the road... I would go back again!

Grethe was a caring, attentative hostess and the apartment was clean, cozy and well resourced. Excessive evening tea setting was a great surprise on the arrival - there was everything from smoked salmon to home-made jam. The apartment is very cozy, country-style private apartment. Towels were white and beds made for us. Kitchen was well equipped for holiday living, and the apartment even has a cold room for food storage, in addition to the normal fridge+freezer. The most stunning thing however was the care-taking we got from Grethe. On a sunny afternoon, deck chairs had appeared on the terrace and when the microwave broke, we got a new one the next day. Just amazing.

There is a busroute, but it is absolutly best to have a car. We can help with shopping if necessary.

We stayed in this cabin for 4 nights and we had the best time! There were 5 of us and we had plenty of space, and still had space for a couple more! The floor is heated which was perfect and Trond had lit the fire so the cabin was nice and warm when we arrived! Couldn't have asked for more! The kitchen had everything needed to cook, Trond had told us that it was better to buy food in Tromso which was good to know as the cabin is in a pretty remote area. And being remote was absolutely perfect! You need a car but the views were stunning! Mountains just outside of the window and places to walk just outside. And we were even fortunate enough to see the lights two nights in a row from the house!! Amazing! Trond's wife even came the first night to tell us that the lights were out which was really nice! They were very hospitable, Trond's father in law too! They made themselves available if we needed anything! Trond lent us snowshoes and sledges so that was great, we put them to good use! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this cabin! Thank you so much!

AshantiMarch 2016

We stayed at the cabin for the second week of our honeymoon. Trond was wonderful, driving to meet us a few km down the road when our satnav was struggling to find it. The cabin was immaculate, beautifully decorated and so cosy. The location is amazing, surrounded by mountains with the fjord not far away. We saw the aurora from the windows almost every night. The cabin was well heated, with a fantastic wood-burner in the living room and underfloor heating in the entrance hall, living room and bathroom. The facilities were all working perfectly and in very good condition. The waffle maker was a particularly welcome appliance! The nearest shop was a 15 minute drive away, especially on icy roads, so a hire car is essential. Luckily there are plenty of good hire companies based at Tromsø airport. The bed was extremely comfortable, especially the pillows. We will look out to buy some like that when we get home! Overall it was absolutely brilliant. We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a beautiful place.

This is a great place to stay and experience the nature and the beauty of the North of Norway. The cabin is very cosy, it is very well equiped, the heating is fantastic, the beds are very good. There is everything you might possibly need. The environment is so beautiful! If you have a car there are lots a places of interest to visit. You can go shopping (groceries) nearby (5 km) or you drive a bit further, about 20 minutes or you can go to Tromso. We rented the snowshoes from Trond, the price is very low for good and complete material and it is great to make walks with it. We saw the Northern light twice this week. Amazing! We met Trond the night before we left because he was on his holiday. He is very kind, and helpfull and we loved talking to him. Thanks a lot for everything, Trond and Bente!!

It all went great and the cabin located on a really nice place.

MaijaMay 2015

A very nice cabin with lots of space and everything you will need. We stayed here for 5 nights in later March with a party of 4 (two couples) and a couple more friends would have fitted to stay with us easily. The Hosts are very friendly and helpful and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them (or about anything else for that matter)! The location is perfect, easy reach to many amazing mountains and visit to Tromsø is no trouble at all, though easiest way to get around is by your own car. Nothing really worth of mentioning on the negative side as I stated, but just to point out somethings, witch might be nice to know; the dishwasher is really small (yeah, I know, do you even need one), floor heating is not always efficient to dry out all the wet gear after a day of skitouring (or hiking etc), so maybe bring a shoe dryer or similar, if you have lots of gear to dry every night. And most importantly there is NO sauna ;) (as a finn I needed to point that out). The description of the cabin is totally accurate, expect what they promise on it and you will find the cabin as perfect as we did. The value is unbeatable.

We had a great stay in the cabin and Trond and Bente are great hosts and gave us excellent service. Everything was as it should be: clean, cozy and comfortable. It is situated in a quiet, remote place with stunning nature and scenery. Trond provided plenty of wood for the stove and we could rent snowshoes, which proved very usefull while hiking around in the woods. We had the chance to see the aurora twice, although not very bright, directly outside the cabin. Trond and Bente and their family gave us lots of information. Internet worked fine so we could check for weather and Northern Light forecasts. We were a company of 4 adults, 55+. We highly recommend this place to lovers of quiet, beautifull nature.

HansFebruary 2015

Cabin was very cosy and situated in a very quiet place with wonderful views. We were group of 6 people doing some ski mountaineering and for us the cabin offered everything that we needed. It was very easy to communicate with Trond and Bente and they were fast to respond to our messages and welcome us when we arrived. For our holiday this place was perfect.

Bente was a great host, we did very much enjoy the stay at her cabin. Great location, lots of hikes in the beautiful surroundings and magnificent sunsets and sunrises. We will be back.

We have spent four days in the cabin and all I can say is positive. Bente was awaiting our arrival, assisting us to get home. The cabin is fully equipped with every comfort to feel at home. Everything was perfect, wonderful location, cleanliness, comfort and beautiful decor, the cozy welcome of Bente, the owner, who shared with us all that was in her cabin, making us feel like family. Spacious seating area and magnificent terrace with superb views over the fjord, where we could enjoy the Northern Lights in a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Completely recommended to enjoy nature. I thank you so much all the information, help and willingness of Bente and her generosity sharing her nice cabin.

Bente gave us a great friendly welcome, support and help also during the rest of the vacation. The cabin is wonderful, clean and with everything you need ! She is the best host !

What an absolute gem of a place! Bente is the perfect host, always quick to respond and happy to help answer questions and make suggestions. A really warm and personable lady. The cabin is fabulous. Very homely and beautifully positioned to enjoy that stunning view. It's very well equipped with everything you could possibly need, inside and outside, and tastefully done. It's remoteness was an added charm for us, it was so peaceful and the scenery is just stunning. A perfect location to explore by foot or by car. There's a supermarket around 13km away which has a good selection, and stocking up is key! The locals are so friendly and at the cafe we were given a bucket of the freshest prawns I've ever eaten! I can't recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to return. We had such a magical few days, enjoying the aurora straight from our balcony. I'm going to miss waking up to that view, we will definitely be back!

ZoeNovember 2016

We stayed at the cabin 4 days at the end of fedruary 2016. It was a perfect moment. Our arrival was easy. We were warmly welcomed by Bente. And the cabin is fully equiped. Everything is made to have a nice stay and really feel at home. There's a fireplace to be warm, the living room is huge. We stayed there every night. And most af all, the location is perfect to discover the wildness of Norway and to admire the northern lights directly from the house. We would come back any time.

I'm just back from a great week, blessed by beautiful weather in Rita's hut. I went there as I was looking for a quiet place to do some writing about the Arctic circle for a commission and it was perfect. The hut is in a lovely spot - private but still with some other houses around so it didn't feel too isolated. It is equipped with everything you'll need, very cosy, and, even though it has no shower, I ended up really enjoying my daily ritual of an outside shower with a large pan of water from the stove on the decking overlooking the fjord - all part of the experience! The bedroom part is basic but fine. It's under half an hour's drive from town, so it's possible to enjoy all the things Tromso has to offer. Rita is an extremely helpful and considerate host - she even got some supplies in for me when my plane was delayed on the way in, and came and met me at the airport despite it being really late. Having experienced 24 hour sunlight there, I hope I can go back in the winter to walk across the frozen fjord in the moonlight and witness the aurora.... I recommend it.

NicholasJune 2014

During our annual Eastern ski holiday, we stayed few nights at Rita's cabine that is conveniently located between Tromso and the Lyngen Alps. We really enjoyed these days of our holidays, not least due to Rita's cozy, clean, and modern cabin. It was also very refreshing to enjoy the view to the fjord and mountains during breakfast and dinner. When booking the cabin we were a bit stressed of the lack of shower, however all our worries turned out to be premature. With Rita's help and our own imagination we managed to find a convenient way of cleaning ourselves after the days activities in the nature, either in the bath located in Tromso or in the shower provided by a gas station near by. Rita is very good host. She replied to our booking that came very late promptly and she also gave us very good instructions how everything works in the cabin. I hope we have a chance to stay in this cabin also in the future when enjoying the amazing skiing in the area.

ErkkaMay 2014

I don’t think it is possible to have a more warm hearted and genuinely kind host than Rita. It feels like you are visiting your mother – for all the right reasons! From the airport pickup to the drop-off four days later, it was only but a pleasure. Tromsø is a wonderful place and it was a privilege to partake in the Midnight Sun Marathon. Again, Rita: not only did she cheer us on during the race, she also invited us for a warm bath, drinks and snacks at her private residence afterwards! Well needed I must say and more than just appreciated. Everything was done tastefully and never intrusive. The actual accommodation is exactly what is says it is: a small hut by the fjord. The accommodation is well appointed and in a perfectly beautiful setting. Quiet, fresh, cosy, wood fire stove, Norwegian shower (sic)!, fishing, swim in the fjord, perfect. Can’t wait to return.

This cute and cozy hideaway is situated in the vicinity of Tromso ( 30 min by car from city centrum ), in a very private and beautiful area, just where the Fjord ends. It is placed up on the hill, thus enhancing the chances for its welcome visitors to see the amazing view during the summer, and the well known Aurora during the Winter. The cottage is surrounded by trees and it has a big terrace as an outdoor extension of the living room. It has 2 bedrooms that can host 4 people

The Kjosen Lodge was superb place for a snowboarding holiday in Lyngen Alps. The lodge is located in the middle of great skiing opportunities. It is newly renovated, offering comfortable living, warm, modern kitchen, always hot water in shower, room for drying equitments.. Highly recommendent!

JuhaMarch 2016

Kjosen Lodge is a very nice little old house. It is renovated and decorated with good taste. Everything is new and functional. Specially the separate drying room and Weber grill gets my extra points. The house owner Trond was very helpful and made us feeling very welcomed. I would totally recommend Kjosen Lodge for skiers and anyone who likes to experience something special.

Very nice house with a beautifull view. We had a pleasant stay. Went out on the water by canoe and catch some fish. we grilled them above the fireplace in garden. Thank you Lena for your friendly hospitality.

IreneAugust 2016

First off, let me just say, the location is unbelievable, the views are nothing short of breathtaking, we were stunned. The cabin, which is set a few yards back from the fjord itself, is gorgeous and inviting and we really felt at home instantly. We had everything we needed, plenty of logs for the wood burner, fantastic cooking facilities, very cosy beds, plenty of storage space, lovely eating areas, one outside, one inside. Lena and her father were great and made sure we had everything we needed. We made use of the canoe and ventured out onto the open fjord which was an awe inspiring experience for us both. We also went fishing on the shore and caught ourselves a couple of cod. We decided to hire a car at Tromso airport and it is a really easy drive back to the cabin and we are glad we did hire one as the cabin is a good half hour drive from the airport and it was handy to have on the occasions when we needed to nip into town for supplies or just wanted to explore a little further. We were lucky enough to see three porpoises casually swim past us in the fjord water as we sat outside the cabin eating our lunch. Later that night, we were treated to a wonderful spectacle as the Aurora Borealis came into view on the clearest of nights. All in all, a perfect honeymoon, we had an amazing experience and we are already looking at rebooking and bringing more family members to share in this most wonderful of trips! Thanks Lena :-)

CathySeptember 2016

Lovely place, nice and warm with great amenities. Friendly hosts, and they welcomed us to use the spices and things in their kitchen. The pictures make it look smaller than it feels, it's both spacious and cosy. Got a chance to do some fishing, and watched the northern lights from the back lawn :)

This cabin is absolutely fantastic, it's about 30 minutes south of Tromso and in a stunning location right on the waters edge. Great for viewing the Northern lights! Lena welcomed us with a warm fire and lots of information on the local area, the cabin was very well equipped with everything you would need, plus more! The Cabin was very comfortable and spacious, we really felt like we had found something special. Tromso is a great little city, and easy to drive around, we would recommend hiring a car and taking a drive around the near by fjords. Thanks Lena!

SamuelMarch 2016

The best cabin I've ever been rent, warm and comfortable, the scene is much more attractive than in tromso downtown, highly commend!

JIESeptember 2016

Stayed by myself for 3 nights at Lena's place. I have to say its by far the most amazing place i have stayed at. The actual place is even more beautiful and serene than the pictures. Lena is a very polite and helpful host and she answered all my queries promptly, made me feel very welcome. The cabin is well equipped, clean, cosy and well kept. To top it all i saw the most amazing display of northern lights very close to the cabin. I will come back again again to spend some relaxing time in the mountains. Thanks for everything Lena.

A house with good quality in the countryside. It easily fits ten persons and have a nice outdoor kitchen/dining space. Indoor you can relax in the sauna. You will have acres around the house for yourself. There is a little stream with trouts.

4 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, living room and a sauna. In addition we have a outdoor kitchen with wood fired pizza oven and a sitting place with a big table. Any type of heating is included in the rent. Inside there is a wood fire stove. In the sauna there is a wood fired stove.
This is a house where you do what you like your self. You make your own food and even can catch it if you're lucky.
This is a place to relax and be in the nature. Perfect to just sit outside watching the Northern lights fly over the sky.
The house do have a boat that is available for those who rent the house. This is a 12' boat perfect for fishing and includes the fishing equipment (just for the summer time).
Some of my guests also have reminded me that this is a perfect area for those interested in photo.
The complete house is for the guests disposition, except for the storage room in the basement.
I will normally not be at the site when guests arrive so f-2-f communication is done by my local host. All guests will be meet by the local host. I'm normally online any time, except for the night, so I try to answer any question immediately.

The area under 'The Lyngen Alps' (Lyngsalpene) are popular both for winter and summer vacations. In the darker months in mid winter you can view the 'Northern Lights' (Aurora Borealis). When the dark wither is turning more over to longer days the skiers appears in the spectacular mountains surrounding the house.
There is a restaurant/bar that have a seasonal opening hours. There is a local grocery store in 10min away.
In winter the local Husky Farm can give you a ride into the mountains behind a sled or you can go horseback riding.
'Northern Light Dog Adventure' is my neighbour where you can book you dogsled tour with Thomas.
In the summer you need to try the good fishing opportunities in the area. Fishing in lakes, rivers, creeks and the fjord is very popular. Go pick your own mussels on low tide.
There is an ancient "Sami Church" that is situated under a big rock formed as a church.
Between the house and the city center there are 3 bus connections per day.
The local host will help to bring you to the grocery store for little fee.
The international airport in Tromsø is just 73 km away. The train station in Narvik is just above 2 hours drive away.
If you stay in a summer weekend you may rent a larger boat with skipper for taking the bigger fish in the fjord. The last few years have the number of halibut increased greatly. So watch out for halibut of 100 kg and above.

It was a lovely place! We were able to see the northern light just outside the house while we were having a garden dinner! The location was very peaceful and quiet! I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Tromso to see the northern light!

EdwinOctober 2014

We were a group of 5 backpackers who stayed in Oystein's house in the countryside outside Tromso. The location is perfect for spotting the northern lights right from the house. Although getting to the house takes a few bus rides, it is completely worth it. The location is as picturesque as it can get. It is completely cut off from the crowds and tourists and is perfectly located for someone wanting to soak in nature. There are numerous trekking trails and glaciers within a kilometer from the house. The house was well equipped with everything we needed right from wifi to a sauna. Oystein was very helpful in giving us all the information we needed during our stay. The house is clean and well maintained. The best part is the neighbor Thomas who has 26 dogs and a very warm family. They were more than happy to have us around and we had the best conversations with them. Apart from that there is only nature around. The nearest super market is 5 km away and there are cycles in the house to take you there. Overall the best airbnb experience i have had in my last 3 years of travelling! Cheers! ps: If you are a photographer, you will die for this location!

AnoopSeptember 2013

We were hoping to be out “in the middle of nowhere” and House Roluu certainly met that objective. The location is absolutely stunning, with views of the Lyngen Alps from every window, plenty of walking opportunities from the front door, and if you’re lucky the possibility of seeing the Aurora Borealis from your very own ’garden’ without any light pollution. The house is comfortable, warm & cosy, and has all the facilities you’d need. We did not take advantage of the sauna, but that is a nice additional feature to have for those cold Northern Norwegian days. As mentioned in some other reviews, it is an old house, the fixtures are dated, the electrical connections in the living room are a bit messy, and in general there is some clutter. But everything worked just fine, and we very much enjoyed our stay. We did not meet Øystein, as his friendly neighbours Thomas and Anne are his local representatives / caretakers, but in all communications he was friendly and quick to respond. His directions to the house (from Tromsø) are easy to follow, and it is one of the more spectacular routes that we’ve ever driven. House Roluu is an excellent base for exploring the striking scenery of the Lyngen Alps – tusen takk Øystein!

I have stayed in this cabin several times at spring for two weeks of skitouring. The cabin is great for large group of 8 people. It is very nice that all the beds are upstairs so some can go to sleep while others still plan next day in the living room. Also, the basement is very handy to dry your equipment. There's plenty of room for all the equipment which is not typical in cabins for large groups. Me and my friends like to have sauna very much. The sauna makes this cabin perfect. There's everything in the cabin you need and the location is perfect. Lakselvdalen has very nice steep terrain for freeriding. I really like that the cabin has improved every year. There's new TV, good stereos and finally also dish washer.

LauriApril 2015

Host was not present, and hadn't given us the code (make sure to get it), but a neighbor was very helpful and showed us around. However the host had made sure the house and beds were prepared, nicely. The house is fine and functional, but if you're going there it's because of the amazing environment. It really is spectacular!!

OliverJune 2015

I have never had a host before. I was choosing a host based only on the reviews from the website. The reviews for Oyesten were very positive, but reality exceeded all my expectations. Oyesten's house is located amongst the finest examples of Norway nature: lots of snow, picturesque trees and beautiful skies and mountains. I could watch Northern Lights through the house's windows! Overall impression-feels like in winter fairy tale. The neighbor Thomas Jacobsen, his wife Anne and son Aron were exceptionally friendly and hospitable to us. We spent New Year together. Tomas breeds huskies and organized husky sledding for tourists like us. We enjoyed husky sledding a lot. I definitely recommend Oysten as a host, especially if you enjoy Norwegian nature and want to be around it during your vacation.

AntonJanuary 2016

I don't think there is any words can describe how much the trip in Tromso and at Oystein's house with the help of Oystein and Thomas means to us. It was my mom's dream destination and we finally made it with her in a perfect place and people and nature. Thanks so much for all your kindness, hospitality and everything. You made out trip unforgettable and more meaningful. Oystein and Thomas helped me so much to surprise my family and every single things throughout our stay. I truly appreciate every single minutes we spent in Tromso. Best regards, Dear and Family :D

Dear ChonnikanSeptember 2015

Oystein was a great host, we only ever communicated by phone or email but he was always quick to respond and even called to ensure we got there OK. The house is perfect as a base to explore this amazing part of the world, fortunately we did manage to see the northern lights!

Cozy, fully equipped cabin with three bedrooms sleeping up to 6 persons, ideally located just by the foot of the impressive Lyngen Alps. Just 100 meters from one of the most popular excursion points, and 8 km from the village Lyngseidet.

Silje was a very warm and welcoming host. She was great with the kids. We loved the horses. And the waterfall and woods make great walking. The fireplace is fantastic. Highly recommend for a truly quiet and relaxing break.

This cabin was a dream come true. In this case the pictures and the host Silje both exceeded our expectations. Beautiful area, fun outdoor activities and auroras borealis for days. We highly recommend a long stay in this cozy and equipped cabin. Until next time. The Kohens

KfirJanuary 2016

Silje's cabin is a very cozy, warm and wonderful place to stay around Lyngseidet. We were in Lyngen in the middle of March to enjoy some great tourskiing and behold the northern lights. Both were accomplished, and Silje's cabin was perfect! Silje was a great help in preparing for the trip. She responds very fast to questions and her cabin is very well-equipped for any undertaking. There are 3 rather spacious rooms, a very intimate living room, a well-equipped kitchen, good bathroom facilities and WiFi (if you really need it :P). If you're going skiing, there is also a shed to dry skiclothes and gear that comes equipped with drying equipment for boots. The cabin is away from the main road and therefore rather quiet, which we loved. The surroundings are amazing, the view is spectacular and the host is awesome. I definately recommend this cabin!

JoostMarch 2016

We spent two nights in Silje's cabin and we absolutely loved it. The place is really cosy and warm, we even built a fire and sat by it reading. It was like a fairytale. We did have a hard time finding the cabin though since it didn't have a house number and unfortunately we had to wake her up in the middle of the night to ask for directions, but the overall experience was great.

AncaNovember 2015

Silje was an excellent host, making sure we had everything we needed and checking in from time to time. The house was really beautiful and an extremely calm and relaxing place to be (and very clean). The facilities are really good, with everything you need to cook a meal and a coffee maker! We would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to doing so again ourselves in the future!
